VESSEL FOR DISPENSING LIQUIDS.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Oct. 20, 1908.

Application filed January 6, 1906. Serial Io. 294,818.

To all whom it may concem:

Be it known that I, Lnwrs G. Lanes'rarr, a citizen of the United States, and resident of the borough, of Brooklyn, in the city and State of New York, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Vessels for Dispensing Liquids, of which the following is a specification.

Figure 1 is a side view of my improved vesse and means for sup orting the same,

Fig. 2 is a top plan view, ig. 3 IS a vertical central section, the piston being shown in its normal raised position, and Fig. 4 is a simjla spherical form and is denoted by 1. A supporting bracket for the vessel comprises a section showing the pistondepressed.

The vessel is herein represented of hollow suitab base 2 fitted to be secured to a wall or other six port, which base is provided with a metallic band encircling the vessel. The metallic band is, in the present instance, shown as sectional and comprises two arms 3 and 4 hinged, as shown at 5, and adapted to be removably 01am ed together by means of a screw bolt 6 and t uinb nut 7.

The vessel 1 may befprovided with a cir cumferential groove 8 or receiving therein the band to permit the bracket to more securely and firmly hold the vessel in place. The vessel 1 is provided with a fillin' mouth 9 in its top, which mouth is closed y a removable cap 10. i

A piston rod 11 passes upwardly through the center of the vessel 1 and the cap 10, A

rod 11 above the cap 10-and a suitab knob or handle 12 is screwed into or otherwise secured to the upper end of the piston pansion spring]? surrounds the 'piston rod 1 1 etween the ob or handle 12 and the ca 10 for normally holding the piston rod raise A dispensing chamber 14 is formed in the bottom of the vessel 1, which dispensin chamber has a contracted dischar e mout 15 through the bottomof the vesse The piston rod-11 is provided with a head .gagement with the 16 which is arranged to fit within the dispensing chamber 14.

. A stopper 17 is located exterior to the vessel beneath its bottom and it is provided with a screw threaded shank 18 which passes up- 0 wardly through the contracted discharge mouth 15 of the dispensing chamber into eniston head 16. This stopper 17 is arrange to close the mouth 15 when thepiston is in its normal raised position.

By screwin or unscrewin the stop er 17, the amount 0 openin left etween t e pis-. ton head and the top 0 the dispensing chamber when the piston is in its raised position may beaccurately adjusted for permitting a more or less -ra id flow of the liquid from githin the vesse into the dispensmg chamer 1 i In operation, supposing it be desired to dispense a predetermined amount of liquid soap from within the vessel, one hand of the operator is placed beneath the discharge mouth of the dispensing chamber, ready to receive the soap as it is discharged therefrom,

and the other hand of the operator may then depress the piston thus causingthe piston head to enter the chamber and the stopper 17' to openthe discharge mouth of the chamber,

thereby permitting the piston head to force the liquid in front of the same out through the discharge mouth into the hand of the op.-.". I

erator. The piston may then be released-Q thus permitting it to sprin ing the discharge mouth of the dispensing chamber.

It is to be understood that I do not wish to limit In self to the specific form of bracket herein s own and dese'k ibed, and it is evident that the shape of the vessel may be varied and that the vessel maIy be made of any suitable material hence do not wish to limit myself strictly to the structure herein set forth, but

What I claim is:-

A liquid dis en'sing vessel including a dispensing cham or having a discharge mouth,

a piston for forcing liquid from the dis ensing chamber, said piston having its ro pro 1 jecting exterior to the vessel, a handle on the rod, a stopper carried by the piston extenor to the vessel arranged to open and close the discharge mouth, said stopper having its shank passing up through the discharge 1 back into its norv mal raised position with t e stopper 17 clos- 90 mouth and the dispensing chamber and edmy invention, I have signed my name in presjustably engaged with the piston, and a enee of two Witnesses, this 8th day of Decem spring mte osed between the top of the vesber 1905. I sel and the audio arran ed to normally hold LEWIS G. LAN GSTAFF.
